How Will YOU Earn Money?

There are many ways to make money online! The problem is that people often get distracted by the "latest and greatest" product or service and they are never able to build a successful (and revenue generating) business.

Today we are going to run you through one of the most fundamental, yet the most powerful processes of generating revenue online.

It is a proven process, it is one that we use, and one that 100,000's of other Wealthy Affiliate members use. It is also the ultimate "making money" process that worked 5 years ago and it is going to work 5 years from now. It is a process that will reveal as much opportunity in the massive online world as you are willing to work for!

Just one thing before you get into the MONEY "stuff"...

The making money part of your business won't happen quite yet.

Before you earn money, you are going to first be focusing on creating your niche website (which will take place in the next two lessons) and are working to get traffic to your website. Without a website, without content, and without traffic, the MONEY part simply doesn't happen.

So don't look at this like a race. You will reach success and a great deal of it, but before you build your own personal SKYSCRAPER of a business, you must first have a solid FOUNDATION to build it on. That is going to be our first goal within the Getting Started training. Cool?

Alright, let's continue on! :)

Below is a video walk-through of today's lesson and the process of "How to Make Money Online". Just click the PLAY button to watch it!

Over the coming days you are going to be working through this process and by the end of this Level 1 training alone, you are going to have an awesome foundation in place that will lead you to much greater success.

Task #1: Understand the Make Money Process

There are MANY different ways that you can earn money online and many different ways in which you can build an entire business. In the coming lessons we are going to be walking you through the following process (and the video above explains it).

There are 3.75 BILLION people online as of 2018 (YOUR audience) and these people are searching for things all the time.

They are looking for information, solutions to problems and to buy stuff. That is where you are going to come in with your website and help these "audiences" by offering them information about what they are looking for. You will be "helping" these people and earning revenue in the process.

By Lesson 4 of this course you are going to have your very own "niche" website in place that you will use to connect with your chosen audience. You will have your very own piece of the internet and a platform to connect anyone that you want who browses the Internet.

Task #2: Create (Write Down) Your Financial Goals

You want to earn revenue right? That is great! In order to earn anything however, you need to have some goals in place.

In this task we want you to join in on a "money goals" discussion here at Wealthy Affiliate. You are going to be telling us what your goals are and going forward, we are going to be helping you achieve these very goals!

QUESTION #1: How much money would you be happy earning?

QUESTION #2: How much would you be ecstatic earning?

QUESTION #3: And how much TIME are you willing to invest to achieve these goals?

PLEASE make 100% sure that you do not skip this step and you revisit this post regularly when you are in need of some motivation. I can absolutely assure you that if you work hard at this and you are persistent towards these goals, you will achieve them. But ultimately it is UP TO YOU!

In addition to this, it would be wonderful if you commented on someone else's goals they have posted within this thread. Aim to comment on at least TWO people's goals. You likely can network with many other "like minded" people here at Wealthy Affiliate and this is a good way to get your networking efforts rolling. We are a friendly bunch here at WA!

Awesome, off to the next lesson now where you will be "choosing your niche"!

Top Helpers in This Lesson

I need help in Lesson 7 under the Create and Publish Your Privacy Policy Page. After publishing the training is asking me to go to the admin area in Site Manager to look for the Noindex and Robotics for check off but I don't see the wording their asking me to check off.

Hi,
See in the Privacy page you created. go back to it as you would when you wrote it. Right at the bottom you can check the boxes there once you do it up date it again and then you will not be indexed.

Ok I'm lost. I followed each step but I can't seem to get my menu at the top. The theme I selected supports 4 menus. One of which is Primary the other Top Menu. When I go to the menu structure and select Top it only shows in the Primary located as 3 bars on the top right. I tried putting my menu under both locations same results. Help!

I had earlier set some vague, I mean unrealistic goals probably because I had not see the "How to Make Money Online" video from Kyle. Now I understand the need to make them realistic and definite. Surely, they will change over time but for now, it has to just be S.M.A.R.T ...realistic and timely.

hi just joined do not hurry . create a comprehensive site woth the right links and videos then SET_EARN _REPEAT
this is my second bash as the first course i did was too quick and skipped the basics which you need to get into good cpa programmes etc

Good Sunday Afternoon family, What I need to know is if there is going to be any written material in a tablet needed to finish my tasks from here on? As you might have already read, I am physically challenged and will need someone here with me to do the writing for me. Thanks so very much.
Janis

Reading your bio was inspiring. Clearly it has been a hard road, but you haven't given up. You can do this!

I can honestly say you have come to the right place. The training here is second to none, and the support community is fantastic. Plus, you are 100% in control of your business; you decide how fast or slow you want to work... in other words, there's no crazy quotas like the candle company.

I might have a possible solution for your writing challenge. If you head over to Amazon, they have a product called Dragon Naturally Speaking -- http://a.co/d/359jWUQ (not an affiliate link, just trying to help).

The Home version is on sale right now for less than $30.

It is a form of dictation software that works with practically any writing program, like Word for example. You just speak into a mic and it writes everything out for you. I have used it for years and it's great. No typing required.

You may still need some assistance with posting your articles once written, of course, but this would at least minimize the time you have to rely on someone else.

I hope this helps. And if you need anything, we are all here to support one another; so please do not hesitate to ask.

I am trying to add my menu structure and need help. I did not have anything there so I created the Home page as a custom link. How do I create the Privacy Policy Page and the About Me post? When i select Pages or Posts it says no items even though these have been created so I am not sure how to get those two additional tabs on my main page.

I am at the lesson for adding menu’s and I have not skipped any. I just created my Privacy Policy page this morning so I am not sure if this is why it is not pulling up when I select Pages to add in my menu.

Is it a better idea to start off with the Affiliate Bootcamp than to jump into a niche? I'm thinking that process might provide the learning mechanism and then facilitate building a new site with niche of my choice afterwards. I ask because I've done a couple of niche searches using Google and "affiliate programs + niche" and in almost all cases the site asks me questions like what is your website URL? How many visitors do you get? etc.. For which I don't have any answers. Just need some clarification here.
Thanks for any help.
Mark

I have not done the Affiliate Bootcamp yet. However, from what I gather from people who have, it does seem to be a bit more challenging, particularly for a new person, just because the "make money online" niche is so competitive. Therefore, I started with other niches that I was interested in.

Having said that, however, you should always base your niche on your true passion. If teaching others how to start an internet business is what really turns you on, then don't let competition get in the way of it. After all, how many gigantic search engines were out there when a tiny little company called Google came along? ;-)

Thanks for the reply! While I was waiting for a response I decided to see how difficult it is to become an Amazon affiliate. To my surprise it was simple just using a website I already own. Having said that I think I will go with my own site from the start.
Mark

So I decided I want to get into the art niche it is something I could do all day and love it, but as a niche I was going to do art supplies so can sell evey type of supplies like pencils, sketchbooks, markers or just focus on one product and just promote sketchbooks alone?

The "tighter" the niche, the more likely you are to pull in traffic that is looking for that specific thing. But there is such thing as going too tight; I'm not sure just how much content you will be able to write over the long term if you limit yourself to just sketchbooks.

Having said that, however, as you likely know if you are an artist, there are a ton of art supply sites (like Michael's or Jerry's Artarama, for instance), so you will want to think about what makes you different and why fellow artists would want to come to your site and buy their supplies through you. Put your own spin on it. :-)

GtGt - one day you'll have to tell me what GtGt stands for.
To provide another perspective, I think your niche is a good one. Once you dive into the Art niche, there are a lot of products and books would be a important aspect of your success too.. Given the supplies, pencils, brushes, canvas, lighting and maybe an offering of frames, I think your name will be in lights. Remember, or so it seems to me, the margins would be fantastic. Home Depot doesn't make the big margins on lawn mowers and grills, the margins are in nuts, screws, bolts, etc.

After going through the Understanding Keywords lesson - which was excellent - I have two questions: 1. Can I write a post containing the desired/good keyword, but give that post a title that would be more in line with what people would search for?

2. Once I write a post around a desired/good keyword, should I write other posts, with new content, but containing the same desired/good keyword?
Thank you in advance for your help.
George

Each post you write will be tackling only ONE of these keywords on your list.

sample "how to train a dog to sit"

Then you will incorporate that phrase in your title, first paragraph, and then once again near the end of your post.

Title: "3 Easy Steps: How To Train A Dog To Sit" - Always add to the title to make it enticing and reason why people should click on YOUR post on their results page.

First paragraph (within first 160 characters):
"When first getting a new puppy, you will want to learn how to train a dog to sit when he or she is 2 - 4 months old.

I have 3 easy steps below that I'm going to go through with you so you can teach your new puppy...."

Body: anything you want.

Last section of post somewhere:

"If you have learned how to train your dog to sit, then please comment below and let me know of your results!" - or something else, anything that will bring that keyword back into your article.

When researching keywords you need to beware of Stop Words like "what is" "how to" and words like "in" "a" "on".

Those words don't really count and if you see another keyword with same AVG but higher QSR and without those stop words, then that keyword is the true QSR.

For example "what is commission junction" and "commission junction" are the similar AVG but the true keyword is "commission junction" which will have a much higher QSR than "what is commission junction".

Sometimes you may also need to be more creative in your keywords if the product name you're promoting does not have any good keywords, you could work around that and think of why a person would need this product.

So instead of using product name keywords, you could also look at keywords like "how to cure...." or "natural remedy for..." whatever your product can do/improve for people, and so that's more keywords you could use.

You have to put yourself into the mindset of the person doing that search and figure out what a person that needs the information you're offering would search for.

Hi Grace,
You are absolutely great! I am so pleased that you are my coach and teacher. Your explanation, examples and attention to details is truly remarkable. Since the topic of keywords is so important and your response so great, I printed it out and taped it on the wall next to my desk. I also added to it the response I got from Smartketeer. It will serve me as a constant reminder of the correct way to use keywords.
George

Thank you very much Smartketeer. As I mentioned in my answer to Grace (Littlemama) you both were extremely helpful in answering my questions and clarifying some of the finer points of working with keywords. I am sure I will have some more questions as I progress in building my website and it is a great feeling for me to know that I have experts like you and Littlemama to help me.
George

I'm so impressed that you know how important keywords are George, a lot of new members don't realize this and may not take my words of advice that seriously. You printed that out and taking all other advice will give you a strong foundation for your keyword knowledge.

Keywords are what drives traffic to your website, the more you know how to use this, the more visitors you'll get, the more money you'll earn.

I'm happy to help you and many others who cross my path. :) My only hope is that people take action on my advice and build a great online business for themselves!

Can you have a niche without it being attached to any of the affiliates? Example I work for a accounting firm I might want to do one on how to set up a small business and what entity to choose (LLC, S-corp, etc) or what bookkeeping softwares are the best. But can I still make money if no affliates are linked to any of this?

Hi!! As far as I am aware, affiliate links are what generates you income. With affiliate links in place you will get commission. So if you set up a niche based how to set up a small business, you would link affiliate links to your posts related to setting up a small business, people would go through your website, click those affiliate links and you would earn commission from that particular affiliate business that the "customer" has clicked on.
I hope that makes sense!!

Well I cannot see how you will make money with that sort of website unless you are going to charge your clients for the information. Affiliates are used to generate income and if that unobtrusive on you website i.e. in a Review of whatever you are promoting then you would be fine.
Carol

Choosing a niche. Was there another section that involves choosing a niche that I missed in the training? What I mean is the step by step method starting with idea>keywords>most relevant keywords>most paid for keywords>most searched for keywords>competition analysis>trends.........etc? Or is that the Premium level that I need to purchase?

Your niche should be something you're passionate about. A job you're really good at, a hobby you have, special knowlege that most people lack, etc.

Don't worry about keywords yet. All that will do is potentially lock you into a niche that you really have no interest in other than it's "popular". Building a site that way is tough, because you are less likely to be motivated enough to create all the content required.

Instead, choose a niche based on something you can't help but to talk about to every person you meet regardless of whether you get paid for it or not. Then your content will be exciting and and more likely to attract readers.

Once that's in place, then you can research keywords that people interested in that topic are searching for. Then it is as simple as sprinkling a few throughout your article naturally.

If I wanted to do kids clothing as my niche, how can I break it down more? If I wanted to aim more trendy, or something more simple like baby sleepers. Do I just focus on a specific style to be more successful. Or can it be boy and girls clothing for a variety of ages?

you could go for the baby sleepers and concentrate on how to get your baby sleeping through the night and how to keep your baby safe overnight.
so from sleepers you could branch out into cots, monitors, herbal diffusers, etc
articles like - how to keep your baby clean, how to settle your baby for the night, what size should their sleeper be, etc
a massive amount to write about.
good luck
phil
sorry ... welcome to WA

You have some good suggestions below. The kids clothing niche is a great idea. When you write your posts you can target specific age groups matching up with the products mom and dad are looking for. Great progress so far.

My passion is finance but I think that the 'make money online' niche is too broad and has too much competition. As a millenial that is pursuing financial independence/early retirement, I think this could be a great niche as I can highlight the steps I've been taking to reduce/eliminate debt and make income as an independent contractor/freelancer...and soon to be affiliate marketer.

My question is...what are the recommendations for research to validate that a keyword/niche is solid/worth pursuing? How do I factor in competition and determine the popularity of said niche?

I did use the keyword tool for 'eliminate college debt' and it only gets 48 searches per month. On the other hand the exact phrase 'financial independence retire early' (FIRE) gets 2700 searches per month, a QSR of 181 and SEO score of 83 out of 100. Seems like there's much more demand and likelihood of success here. Would those of you who have successfully built a niche site agree?

And in general, what number ranges for each category in the keyword tool do you look for when you're choosing a niche?

Your question is pretty similar to what I had in mind at this Stage... Meaning I am assuming that you have not completed Level 1 Training yet...

I suggest that you complete the Level 1 Training and from my own experience... A lot of Questions would be answered already as in my own experience.

There are tools and techniques that will be explained to you in Level 1 Training alone... The faster you go through it... Chances are the initial 7-day premium membership upgrade offer would still be open... Just in time for you to proceed to Level 2...

Make sure you are following the training program. It's all outlined step-by-step in there. But the short answer is you are looking for a QSR under 100. Each point you creep above that gets harder and harder to tag those keywords due to the competition.

Having said that, however, I would be lying if I said that I haven't tackled them if the AVG is extremely high as you show here. I'll write an article for a QSR of 120-140 with an AVG in the thousands; just know that it will likely take longer to break into that segment, so don't put all your eggs in that basket. Balance things out with a lot of easier targets so you can generate some quick wins.

Honestly, I look at the QSR before anything. While WA recommends a certain AVG target, I figure even if there are only 10-20 people a month looking for that particular word or phrase, but there is virtually no competition, that's 10-20 potential "fans" I didn't have when I started. Heck, in the beginning, I'd be happy with 4 or 5.

Thanks for the feedback AJ. I get that I haven't reached the research part of the training yet...but I don't understand why we're supposed to choose a niche without first doing research to see if it's a potentially successful one.

I do understand what you're saying here (and what you've mentioned on a previous post of mine)...essentially that you like going after low-hanging fruit.

The QSR being under 100 and as high of an AVG as possible for the smaller niches is definitely helpful. That should give me enough info as I choose my first niche.

Niche Selection is slightly different... It is supposed to be something you are comfortable in... Not necessarily a content expert. This is to help ensure that you are able to develop high quality content over and over again... As it is something you are comfortable in...

Then you research the Keywords that are relevant to your Nicyhe and draw Traffic... Your Website Structure and Content would deal with the Conversion into Sales...

It helps if you look at a niche as being seperate from the research, at least mentally. Naturally the two are closely related, but there is a difference.

For me, I personally don't care what the keyword research numbers are, at least not initially. Here's what I mean...

Let's say I find a group of keywords that are super high in searches and have super low competition. But those keywords are all related to the topic (i.e. niche) of underwater basketweaving. And I'm afraid of water. And I hate baskets. As far as I'm concerned, it's goodbye, the end.

No matter how great the numbers are, if it's in a niche that I have no interest or passion in, then a) I'm not going to be motivated to create content for it, and b) even if I was successful, all I've done is create another job... and who wants that?

Forget the numbers for now. Choose your niche based on your passion. Choose something that you would talk to anyone who would listen about for the rest of your life, even if you never got paid a dime for it.

To paraphrase Confucius: "Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life."

Caring for my grandfather.during his final years and now my father, who is in his late 70s, I d like to connect with others going through that same type of situation. There are so many different aspects involved in caretaking for an elderly family member, so I will focus on how family caregivers cope with their responsibilities and resources available to them.

Question about niches
I was able to make a site about breastfeeding moms and I wish to join a community of mom bloggers here who maybe share the same interest?

And if you are in a community, Is it ideal say for example to invite guests to write contents on your site and vice versa?

I find it quite challenging to think of really good contents so I started on a somewhat a 'curated content' is that even acceptable?

I started with "Instagram Breastfeeding stories to Follow", added a bit of my insight and then featured some moms on IG with really good and inspiring posts about the topic (I of course messaged and asked them if I could feature them on the site)

My goals are to keep on with training and I keep thinking about getting back home from work to work on this course and getting my website up and running so I can make some money to help some of my friends out and I would really out of this world happy to see a check for $4,000.00 come my way.

Does anyone know if you remain a free member with one or two sites will you make enough money on just that or do you have to upgrade to make real money. I’m just afraid if I upgrade I will not make enough money to cover $49.00 dollars a month. How could I possibly know that answer in 6 days? Has anybody out there made descent money on the two free sites?

You can make money staying as a free member. There are advantages to going premium but it’s not required. That said, if you go premium consider going annual, it’s the equivalent of $29 a month vs $49, the catch, you have to pay it all at once so $359/yr.

I agree with @merlynmac. It's not a requirement, but it's worth it. Not only will you get the most up to date training, but you also can create up to 50 websites for that one fee. I was using another host company and was paying between $10-$15 per month for each, so once you begin to grow you'll see what a real bargain WA is.

Also keep in mind that if you go premium in your first seven days, it's only $19 for your first month, so that will give you more time to discover if this is for you--and since you already took the first step, I'm betting it is :-)

You can build it to a stay at home income and beyond. In the end you want to become a trusted authority in your niches. You can do that without going premium although I’d say you’d get there quicker as a premium member with the ability to register your own domains, build more than 2 sites and access to additional training.

Any and all of the above. The sky is the limit; it really just depends on what your goals are.

If you're looking for a little side cash, and only have a few minutes a week to work on it, you can do that. If you are looking for more of a stay-at-home income, you can do that. Or, you can work hard and build an entire company with a real office and staff.

For an excellent example of what you can accomplish in a relatively short time, check out WA member, JerryHuang. He's an inspiration to us all. :-)

I have an idea for s way to utilize this site and s business idea I was given. The idea is for me to be a virtual Secretary to older owner operator truckers that do not know how to email and fax; and, or owner operators truckers that just don't want to do the paper work. I can use this website to advertise this service while also using to advertise some afflicted to make money that way to . Dose this sound like it will work

Hi Greg. Could not agree more with your sentiments. I have only just started the training and can not comment much on WA.

I can however comment on life as I have been around for a while.

Starting any business is expensive and risky as many start ups have a low percentage of success. When you are on your own it is scary and lonely where the world could not care less if you are successful or not.

I have been with WA for only a week but I can see that they are taking me down a road that is well travelled and an organisation that wants you to be successful.

My investment is time and a relatively small financial investment.

If I throw myself into the programme I should have a good idea in six months how well my association with WA has been.

At worst I will have learnt a lot through the professional training and will not have a huge financial debt from a failed venture. At best I will be developing a successful business

Bruce , you are absolutely fair and not being judgemental to WA..WA was established long time ago with a number of technocrat investors those were positive and with the far sighted vision. Now the community using internet already achieved the figure that never being imagined compared to WA initiation and hatching time but over time, their commitment and dedication to help others to succeed WA now developed into a big organization with the right vision and attitude, caring society and ready to make money through affiliation and traffic in the websites....only to be shared by many others, not only the pioneers ..

Anything in life is possible if you put your mind to it! Having said that, is it possible to have success with WA without investing any money.

Of course, but you're really going to limit your resources and stack the odds against you.

1) Once your 7 days are up you are unable to post questions or reach out for assistance. And considering you have access to so many knowledgeable people in this community, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of it?

2) I know when I got involved I couldn't go beyond the first set of lessons without paying.

3) I strongly believe between the lessons and support there is no reason why anyone would be unable to create a successful online business here.

4) There are many other options online to creating online business but nothing that is put together as well as WA. Both Kyle and Carson have done an amazing job putting together an amazing opportunity.

5) Can you find any resource online that is offering you a legit FREE opportunity at making an unlimited amount of money.

If money is an issue you could pay for one month and fast forward through the training with the hope you are able to pick up everything you need in one month to become successful

I still think you're far better off putting the money out and taking advantage of all the resources being offer.

If you came here looking for a free option so make a lot of money, then maybe this isn't the option for you.

I couldn't have said it better myself. When I first joined WA I immediately realized that if I was serious about taking my online business to the next level, I would need to invest in my business and my future.

Listen, I completely agree but can I ask if with the amount of time you have already here, have you been able to obtain an income already? Because I´m willing to put the work, I´m willing to make the investment, but I have to know if is it really going to pay off!?

Is it best to stay away from woocommerce and stay with blog style sites? Or does it even matter? Obviously we are promoting either way with the goal of selling and profitting from products related to our chisen niche. Im a little puzzled ablut this. Can someone please advise. Thanks!

The 4 templates Privacy Policy, Affiliate Disclosure, About Me and Keyword Rich Content Page in the Site Content section are not showing up on my page as they show up in the 7th lessons video. Does anyone know why i'm not getting it? Can someone please post the content for the privacy policy page or provide someplace I can get these 4 missing templates?

Hello, i am new here, basically i have always wanted a passive income and i ended up here . i just wanna ask if i'm not a premium can i still generate income ? if so i wanted to use the money that i gained to become premium as i'm really dead broke , and all i have is a cybercafe job , good thing is i have time to use. Thank you for your response.

Hi Gary,
Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate - the right place to start your online business. It's still possible to earn income at your account level but I have to be frank with you, it's very hard. I am trying to discourage you but I have to be honest and transparent here. :)
The reason I was saying that is that with starter account you don't have access to the core training, the tools and weekly training and so on. If you really want it a success you need all the training, the tools and the support from the community.
All the best.

I am going through the Creating your initial website content video and when I got to the template section where the video shows 4 options to choose and you go into the "about me" template my screen does not have any of the 4 options. I have 3 monitors on my computer and have two windows open, i'm watching the training on one screen and have my page open and am following along on another monitor, but my page doesn't have the 4 options. It show 3 tabs Back to my dashboard" make a template" and "bucket"

Any reason why we need to go so granular for our niche? As in, rather than baby products, we have to go straight to baby strollers? Wouldn't it be better to have a site revolving around baby products in general so then there's more ground that can be covered on the website...and then have subpages like diapers, strollers, cribs, etc?

If that's what you want to do, the it's something you certainly can. But the narrower your niche, the more likely you'll stand out. I do know, though, that some niche's just aren't going to go down that narrow.

Be assured there is a method to the madness. The longer your keyword the less competition there is and, thus, your site will get traffic faster. Moreover, that traffic will be highly targeted and looking for exactly what you are offering because you narrowed in so tightly.

Think of it this way... the big retail sites aren't going to bother going for a "long-tail" keyword phrase when there are only 100 (or less) people searching those terms every month; as a former corporate executive I can tell you it's just not the best use of their limited resources. But start-ups like you and I will gladly take 50, 20, or even 10 people a month. 1% of something is better than 100% of nothing, right?

On the flip side, if you start out too big with a more generic term, you're going to be facing the large, more established companies head on. That's going to get very expensive fast and take a long time to make even the smallest dent in their customer base. Like before, but reversed, it's just not the best use of YOUR limited resources.

Trust the process. Kyle and the gang have been doing this a long time and Wealthy Affiliates has a proven track record of success stories. They know what they're doing.

Makes sense AJ. I'm not trying to compete with the bigger companies tho...I'm aiming to partner with them as an affiliate. I get what you're saying traffic/SEO-wise, but I definitely don't want to go too narrow. 10-50 people a month isn't really gonna cut it for me, especially if the affiliate commissions are small (ie Amazon associates program).

My niche will be cast iron cooking. I like it, I have some knowledge and experience in it. it sounds like the most lucrative websites are about people making money online. I may do that eventually but would like to start with cast iron cookware and cooking. What do you think?

Ralph,
Welcome to WA nice to meet you - personally, I think
that you can do well within this niche many people
today are going back to the cast iron cookware.
Good luck and enjoy your journey here with us,
Susan

@RalphPeterso Everyone eats and there is a huge audience for people that use cast iron cookware plus you can go in so many directions with this niche. Do your due diligence and research thoroughly. See what is trending, what celebrities are promoting your niche and so on. Its a great niche. Take action and you will be successful.

I agree with Susan (@Marley2016). At least here in Tennessee, there has been a big resurgence of cast iron in recent years. It turned out that the Teflon non-stick wasn't as great (or as safe) as they led us to believe and people are turning back to what grandma used when we were all kids.

I can remember hitting some of the local thrift shops, flea markets, and antique stores a couple of years ago and they were practically giving the cast iron pots and pans away; now you can't find it anywhere. Sounds like a winning niche to me. :-)

hi everyone i am new to W.A. Can i use my niche to redirect to any website? In the video it showed ebay, amazon etc. Does all websites pay a commission? for instance if i created a website concerning computer repairs and parts. Can i use a local PC store website? Will they pay commission as well?

No. Your local store will just wonder where all the free traffic is coming from. You would have to set up a unique affiliate link with that store, once they agree to take you on as an affiliate (if they even do that, but really you will be shown how to find such companies who are looking for people like you.

You can set up a website showing people all about computers and how to fix them.

I could even give you at least one day idea for a post surrounding laptop chargers, mine stopped working a while back and had to pay to get it fixed.

So, don't direct to sites where you are not officially an affiliate of theirs i.e. someone that gets commissions for making referrals that convert to sales.
Chat me back Gary to talk more on this if you like.

Heyyyyy!
My Niche is Free Christian Music. I'm offering my CD for a gift of any amount toward my Fundraiser. That way, I am not marketing my Music on the same page as my Non-Profit Business. The numbers were 650 - 112. I think those numbers are pretty good as far as giving away a free gift for a donation to a charitable cause.

Hello, what if the NICHE you want to do is a product that is only sold on a website and they do not sell it on any platform other than their website? How do I sell that particular product and its other products that go with it?

Hi gyzz..just started here so need a little help from you people...I love making jewelleries at home esp beads jewelleries so im just wondering if beads wholesale or beads necklaces/ear rings can be a niche..please advise...looking forward to hearing from you people. All ideas will be very much appreciated. .👍👍

Quick question regarding my particular niche. I want to do something with travelling, so 'ear plugs' was an idea I was thinking about going through with. But i'm not sure if that is too narrow a niche, and should instead go with 'travel essentials', and then include the various items (ear plugs, eye masks, backpacks) within the same website. The main reason for my concern is when I have to choose a domain name. Any thoughts would be appreciated. ;)

WOW..creating a website is not easy..at least not for me it is.. when you choose a theme, then you have to figure out what you want to put in it? And then there is so much to choose..how do you know what you really need or want?

No need to go bald just yet lol
Try a test site and see how you get on.
It really is a good idea and you can make all the mistakes you want to and ask members what they think about this, that or the other until you are satisfied you have something that will work for you.
Robert

if you choose a website based on something you enjoy or something you know a lot about that is helpful or fun that you would like to share with others then think of all the fun and useful information you can put on that site, then follow the training and lessons provided and ask for help when you need it.

Hopefully you will do well, wish you all the best.
(Its been said that the hardest step on a long journey is the first one)
Just don't ask me who said it :)

So I have an eBay store that I would like to direct traffic to from the website..does my website need to show products or can it be something else to direct people to? This is where I get confused and then when I try to pick a theme for a site, there are all these formats that I don't know if I am supposed to add or not add. When I choose a theme, it will tell me to add extra plug-ins for that theme? Very confusing..i just want a simple site to do this, and I end up getting really frustrated.

Ruth
There seems to be some confusion what it is you want and you are getting conflicting advice so send me a Private Message and tell me Exactly what it is you are trying to do and I will do my best to help.

When I came to WA Carol, I was very stressed from past failures and lack. I could hardly concentrate so I missed alot of what was being said on the training. I went back and took it again in small steps at a time. It all started falling into place.

Distractions can be pretty mean and rob you of important details. Take a deep breath and go over it again. You will get it.

i can totally relate to past failures. What I liked about WA is the fact that you work for you money which shows that its genuine. i am taking baby steps but I know that when I start earning it will be a well-deserved, rewarding experience

It did mention the robots beta boxes on the video. I am so embarrassed. It should still let you know to go to the Site Manager, select Pages, then select All Pages and then select your Privacy Policy Page and scroll down to Alll In One SEO Pack after it have been added instead of just saying it is found in the WordPress Admin Area to keep from having to go back to the video. It would help dummies like me.

When i tried to post the privacy policy page, it was all messed up, so i deleted it and retried. Then once i finally posted it, it doesn't show up on my website. Then i will look up my website name and privacy policy and the privacy policy does come up. I dont know what to do.

One thing I learned is that learning things on your own really makes you feel good. The teacher is awesome but sometime we miss out on things and have to figure it out on our own. It took me about 3 hours to get it right.

So, being that I have a store, do I draw more traffic to my store, or be an Amazon affiliate? I would like to do both and is this possible to do both? Do I need to create a site for my store and Amazon affiliate separately? Appreciate any info..thanks!

I see no reason why you could not put your affiliate link on your store site but if it was me I would set up a separate site for affiliate marketing and then I would know which one was going to produce the most income - just my opinion of course
Carol

I agree with Possum. As a customer coming to buy from your store if I saw your blog about other products rather than your own it would feel odd.you can have multiple websites and they can all be hosted within wealthy affiliate as part of your membership.

I have a question about my Site Content for my website. I opened Site Content and I saw a draft called “Surveys.” I am assuming that somebody else put “Surveys“ in my site content already. This is interesting since I posted on my first day about asking people questions and doing surveys. I think somebody read that comment and must’ve put that on my Site Content that says Draft “Surveys”. If that is true, could somebody please let me know if they did that because of my comment about surveys? I would like to thank them personally for doing that.

Hello there.
No one should be able to do that unless you have given someone else permission. They would need your login information.
I will be back with a link to help you. I am on my cell right now and it isn't as easy to fo as it is with my laptop.
Lee Ann

I did just as it showed in the video, but there were no registered users on my back office for WordPress. The box that says anyone can register did not have a checkmark in it as well. So once again, I do not know who put “Surveys” in my Site Content Dashboard.

I have a question. I already own a domain name. Currently when you click on it it takes you to my shopify store. Can I use it for my website as it is in the niche that I am going to build my website in. I just don't understand how it keeps them separate?

hey hi Arlene -- if your site is already hosted on WA --- since it sounds like a website issue, suggest you might want to initiate a service request through the Help Center>>Site Support>> follow the prompts & complete in full detailed information -- their professional service is fantastic! ....

I may be over thinking, but I thought I had my niche (TOOLS &/OR TOYS). I have a son that's always working on his Jeep and I have grandkids where I'm always buying tool's. In researching it further, the topics seem too broad. I can go with either one. Any thoughts as to how to break either one of them down or is one better than the other?

Hi Don,
These two niches are too dense and you need to narrow them down. By example you can select a niche for Play Vehicules/trucks. (that seems more accurate in your case. You can also get more tips by going online and do a random search or visiting Amazon. Here's an example woth toys in mind. They got different categories as you can see on this screen capture.
I hope this helps. Regards, Al

If you are logged in your WordPress account and go in Appearance/Menus. I would suggest you create a Categorie called Computer Parts and Functions and then add your posts/pages in that categorie. You need to slide them more to the right as shown here. See the screen capture. Al

I am new to this and i have no idea what i am doing. Lol. I have high hopes that I can learn how to make money online. I have worked at home taking customer service and sales calls for 6 yrs so i have had my fair share of bad jobs and online scams. I was looking into something called TerryWilson program but it seems like a very high priced scam.

I'm very privileged to have bumped into this site. I've just completed 90% of level 1 lessons. I guess now I'm gonna have to wait a long while to go premium. Exchange rate in this side of the continent (Africa, Nigeria) is very high, about 360 naira per dollar.
I wanna thank all those who have been very helpful.

Once you have your niches set up, how do you connect them to Amazon affiliate? Is this explained further into the training? I want to do the affiliate for Amazon and need to know all about pursuing this. Do you use the same method to connect to other places for affiliate also? Can you promote digital info or products online with your own website? SO many questions, my head is swimming. Thanks for putting up with my questions! Thanks to all who can help me out here. :)

Hi Ruth. You are correct. Kyle explain further how to promote Amazon (with the Affiliate program) but if you want to take a look at a great video from magicstudios, here's the link: Being an Amazon Affiliate You will need to create your Amazon account first and then sign up for Amazon Affiliate. Once you know your niche category and narrow it down, you can start promoting and of course create reviews. That way you will have great content as a base and then you can promote the products with Amazon link (use Amazon Stripes) or other types of plugin in WordPress. Have a good one. Al

You may follow Alvaro's suggestion on how to set up your Amazon affiliate site.

First thing first, I would suggest to take a step back and plan what you want to accomplish with your affiliate site. That being said, I believe you want to fill up great content on your site before even applying any affiliate program. More so with Amazon that you need to have 3 sales within 180 days from the time your signed up.

In the Lesson 3 you will learn how to choose a niche and why you only need to choose one niche per one site. Keep on with training. It is always when you just started that you want to venture into so wide and so many things at once but it's really getting to a focused niche that will bring better results.

Imagine you need a doctor for a pain you have at your back. Do you go to general medical practitioner or do you prefer to go to a specialist doctor in dealing with back pain / chiropractor?.
Hope you get the idea.

So if I’m correct, you create the website that is in the same category as what you want to advertise later on, but not directly about what you want to advertise? For example, if I wanted to advertise senior mobility items I would make a website about senior health and that would leave room for those products, rather than me making the website actually about senior mobility devices, correct? (FYI I know it should be something you’re actually interested in and/or passionate about, I’m just thinking I specifically went about creating my website name and domain name incorrectly).

If all your products will only be about senior mobility, then senior mobility can be your niche. If you are going to include other items, then you will probably want to make it in the senior health area.

Hello! For me my niche is my Horizon, my comfort zone of business, my place to build my storefront with many ideas to help people including: Health, Wealth and Eros... also where I am able to attract them and help them to decide what they want or to show them what is considered great for others including myself..... and if I get income from it.... Awesome!!!

Hey, everyone, I got a question. So one of my business partners does social media marketing and he has a couple of pages in different niches but he's not promoting anything on his pages. how should I introduce him to affiliate marketing?

I agree with @possumlane. Have him do the basic training, and see what he thinks. You can also send him some success posts from WA members to get him excited. Search for my post “2018 - Another year of success and growth” to see a huge list of members that have made money with affiliate marketing!

I don't see my other question on here so I am going to ask it again. so if it ends up being a repeat I am sorry. Now that we have this website how do we know for sure that no one else doesn't already have this site? I am assuming that when that button pop up its available meant it's checking it out so we will not run into conflict. Are we suppose to hire a legal group to get something to protect oursevlces form issues

hi Stacy -- purchase and registration of top domain names are still on a 'first come, first served' premise ... so there isn't any duplication of names ... once a domain name has been purchased, it is automatically unavailable for anyone else until after expiry (which can be a year or two or never) ...

... rest assured, if you have purchased a domain name from WA, then, it's all good ...

Right now, I do have 2 passions (niches) that is somewhat linked to each other.

The first one is collectible trading cards like Magic the Gathering, Yugioh, and Pokemon. I have been around these cards for almost my entire life since I was a teenager and still am to this day. I know the market for these cards is huge but it can also be hot and cold at times but I do have a great deal of knowledge on this subject.

The second one is video games, especially Nintendo games. I own a 2DS, a 3DS, and a Nintendo Switch. I rarely play the PS4 or the XBox since I am always constantly moving but I do have some basic knowledge on them. The reason why I said they are linked is because I do play the Pokemon main games quite a lot which is why I have such interest in the Pokemon TCG. You can tell that Pokemon has been a huge part of my life.

For my first website, which niche would be easier to set up and promote for sales?

That's a tough one. Both niches have a market. Which one do you think you have more knowledge/passion for? In the end you want to become an authority in your niche so whichever is easier for you at first, I say do that one. Then, after you have the do's and don'ts figured out, create a second site for the other niche.

As of right now, I would say the TCG market. I do have a great deal of knowledge across all 3 major games as a collector and, while I barely played due to lack of funds, I do keep up with the state of the game by constantly reading articles so I am not completely out of the loop.

The only reason why I am a little bit concerned is because of the highs and lows of the market. Sometimes, the market is amazing but there has been times when sales is just not happening due to the parent company making a bad decision. Whereas the gaming market is typically more stable.

Eventually, I do want to get into both markets since I am passionate about both. It is just that, right now, I have more knowledge in the TCG area. That area is what got me the Power Seller stamp on eBay right now.

Well, I do have to admit that I may be overthinking this. I have considered this issue in the past and went on into the collecting aspect of it because that area tend to be more stable than the competitive aspect of the games, in which the card values goes up or down on demand.

This helped me keep card values that I have picked up relatively stable without a lot of price changes.

When I watched the instuctional video about making money from affiliate marketing, a question bumped into my head. Do all these affiliate programs accept applications from affiliates all over the world without restrictions or are they specific to only tier 1 countries only?
Your answers and more elaboration would be highly appreciated

Depending on the level of marketer, the niche they are in and the programs available, an affiliate marketer can get paid from multiple programs in multiple counties as long as countries laws allow transactions.

When I watch the training videos they are pixeling and the screen goes completely green several times during the video lesson. I am on a Mac with Safari and I have excellent internet connection. Is anyone else getting this issue? Or any suggestions on what to do? Idk..maybe use Chrome?

NIches....So if I chose something like "Everything NY Giants"....in theory I can link to coats, hats, jerseys, key chains, etc, at many different retail outlets from my website. And since I'm not selling anything directly I don't have to worry about trademark violations and such. Does that sound about right?

Niches. I have someone who wants me to promote his First Aid kits - aimed primarily at older people who want a comprehensive kit on their yachts. Living in the Virgin Islands I am in the "Sailing Capital of the world" for privately owned and also charter yachts. I think the "audience" could at least, off the top of my head, be also aimed at RV'ers, campers, hikers etc. Where to start? Should I be asking him if I can affiliate with him perhaps?

I would ask him if you could affiliate with him, but that is so narrow a niche. I think if that was just one of your pages. I think you have a better niche in portable first-aid kits, from something that will go on a yacht to something that will fit in a diaper bag.

Excited!! thank you for the easy way you explain things. Here I am sharing my about me page, please let me know what you think. Writing is not my thing, but the way Kyle explain this amazing site content plugin, it really helps, specially for ESL entrepreneurs like myself. Please check it out and comment if you can, it will be really appreciated!https://bestjuicers.siterubix.com/about-kathy/

I'm still getting myself started on here but I took a look at your page and I love how it shows your passion and drive towards making everyone a healthy lifestyle. Your encouragement and personal touch makes me excited to read more!

Thank you for taking your time; your words are very encouraging. My humble advice to you is do not skip training, folllow instructions step by step and little by little. Affiliate marketing strategies have been around many years, but nowadays with all the advances in technology make it even more interesting. If you haven’t done online marketing before it’s ok, here you can learn . I have been here with WA only a few days , and I love the support I have been receiving from the community and the owner as well. Online marketing is awesome, is a real business, it’s legal and rewarding, takes some time but it works.

Thank you for the advice I am half way through the training and I'm very excited to move forward and create my website. Reading comments like yours makes me feel a lot more comfortable and confident in my future steps. So thanks to all of you guys!

The website back office link seems to be not working for me or could it be a browser issue? not sure, could someone offer some suggestions, if I don't reply its because I only have a limited amount of time for now to work on this and then I have to log off

Is there any problems with the website back office? I have tried several times trying to log onto the admin back office using the different ways outlined in the training and each time I get a pop up msg saying logging on, but after that I get nothing but a blank window for more than a few minutes and no connection to the back office, there is a very brief msg that says if your not connected within a few seconds click here but that option clears before I can click on it

"The default Wordpress menus work in very strange ways and can be quite awkward. Typically when you add a page, it automatically goes to the main menu. A post, will go to the homepage blog roll (not the main menu)."

As a blogging tool, what other way of things working would you find more sensible?

Pages are made for static, commonly accessed content like your privacy page and about me. As such they end up on your menu automatically as WP assumes it's something you want people to reach from anywhere on your site.

Posts are what I call "articles of the moment" and tend to be fluid. WP doesn't put them in the menu for various reason including not knowing if the post is something that you want to be reachable from anywhere on your site and because, if you post a lot, the menu would get out of control.

You can manually add and remove posts and pages as you see fit from your menu and even create nested sub-menus.

Merlynmac has said it all but I just want to add this that as you continue building your site, you'll be getting a lot of such issues resolved and facts about them figured out more and more. Thanks for asking!

All post should be shown in your blog roll but not in menus. Your menus would be out of control if you had 100+ entries in them, 1 for each post.

The menus should be used to allow your visitors to navigate them with ease. I have mine setup as follows:

Home - A home button to take them back to my main page

Posts - A link to my post roll page (the page that just lists all my posts in the order of newest to oldest). This would normally be on your main page but I use a static home page.

Categories - This contains sub-entries for the various categories I assign my posts (Accessories, General, Make Money, Post-production, Troubleshooting, etc.). If my visitors click on one of these they'll be presented with posts that only match the category selected.

Submit a Guest Post - This will take them to a post about how they can submit a guest article for my site.

You can organize your menus as you see fit. If you have items being added on their own that aren't pages then you'll need to see what might be causing that behavior. If you go to Appearance>Menus and scroll down you should see an option that says Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu. You can turn that on or off as you desire.

I already have a strong website using WordPress, through a web design company that I have a great relationship with. These tools look very good, but is it a requirement to build through WA? I'm guessing it's not, but I'm wondering if there are things I need to be aware of if I already have a website, like capabilities that I might not otherwise have. Any advice would be appreciated!

Its great that you have a WordPress site and is doing quite strong. That being said and now that you are here, are you not curious to know what goes on behind the scenes?

If you have taken your time to come here and learn, then I would also take the time to learn the ins and outs. The training is excellent and will give you an opportunity to create something of your own.

You may also want to change something or add something on the side to what you already have . . . you just will not know until you try and explore as well as having any creativity that you never knew it existed until now?

It is exceptionally rewarding when you have completed the training and making money is the icing on the cake.

Its exceptional as well as the community it carries within WA.
I am glad that you are at least enjoying the training. I am more so glad for you that you have decided on this avenue so just enjoy the ride :)

Kyle, please say: 1. Can I replace the primary "unconscious postal" name of my website with a niche name, as in the examples of your lectures?. With time.
And 2. Is it possible to restore what I mistakenly deleted on the guest WordPress platform? (I asked about it yesterday). My slip bothers me.
Sorry and thank you. Mark

Now that I've moved forward into the training, I'm just wondering if I can change the name of my domain name and website title as I've found that 'Jaaxy' results a different keyword I could use as my title and domain name batter than my original idea.

Everything is all set now since I started and going through the lessons one at a time, so I personally doubt it but I'm all ears if anyone can tell me otherwise.

I did update home title, home description and home keywords in all in one seo, but as shown in the video when it shows the source you can see home title etc. under the All in One SEO, but i can not see any of that, not even the home title. Can someone tell me why i can´t see this?

I'm very worried about having an "about me" post in fact I would be happier if I didn't need to do one for personal reasons
My first niche is a product which I am interested in buying myself
Is there an alternate post I could make which would get me noticed?

Len,
Instead of doing an About Me post why not do an About Me
page - this does not have to include any personal information
but instead why you feel this product you are promoting is
the best your experience with it and why it will help people.
Pages do not receive comments from people and you have
a way of gaining trust with them.

Try taking a look at this about me post and you can then
get an idea of what I mean.
Susan

Hi everyone, I have a question about the 3rd rule of a quality keyword which says it should make sense grammatically.
AS A USER, if I want to know 'how to improve my basketball skills', I search 'how improve basketball skills' (which doesn't make sense grammatically) to have wider options. because if I search the first phrase I would miss 'how you can improve your basketball skills' which could give me the same result. and lots of people search in this way.
AS A WEBSITE OWNER if i target the people using the second phrase don't I have better chance?

No, google 's algorithm is smart enough so it doesn't make difference. In fact it can be even worse to target the second keyword as your grammar will be wrong and therefore, not good for trust and SEO.

Lesson 6 was extremely beneficial and answers a lot of queries - especial for the novice - like me. I also learned how to access my web page at the end of the video - very useful!
Lesson 5 does not explain how to access the front page of your website when you are working in Wordpress back office - I could not see the changes I was making in the background.
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
I think there are a lot of technical parts of Wordpress are not going to be covered in the training as most of the training teach about the concept of online business and not so much on the technical part.. But there are a lot of references created by WA members related to Wordpress are already available here. Use the search column above and type "wordpress" and you should see some of the training or posts related to wordpress.

Hi,
So I just completed the training on SEO and I made the changes in the All In One SEO to edit my website. I wonder if it's working because I viewed the page source but I can't see the Homepage title and the title description in the code.

Am I doing something wrong as I followed exactly what the video and directives said?

JohnnyB3
I like Aria-Len's suggestion about starting with one Web-Site at a time. I agree with that and don't even have my first one yet. I say that to say this. I believe if you have success with the first
web-site success will follow success!

Those are all good niches. Equally good, so it's really up to you which one to start with.

However, you'll be at this a long while. Beyond the time your child is a baby - aka after your personal life has moved on to other needs.

This is why they recommend you choose a niche you are passionate about. Find something you will not get sick & tired of discussing.

If that IS baby products, GREAT! But if you're choosing it simply because it's currently in your life, and/or you noticed people are making money in that market, then you will burn out.

I only bring it up, as I thought it would be a good idea to run a bridal shop, while I was planning my wedding. Then a baby shop while I had babies. But once my life progressed, so did my interests. I'm very glad I didn't spend the time, energy and money on fleeting fancies. My excitement was coming from my own emotional reactions to the big events in my own life. Not from the desire to actually do that topic as a career.

Well, again, check in with WHY you want to do that topic - first. After a couple of years I got really tired of all my conversations being about kids and potties and naptime and the various kids shows. I really wanted to have adult conversations. But that was me - what do you LOVE to talk about?

If you are passionate about helping new families, then I could easily see a blog that records your struggles and the resources you used to solve them. You could have affiliate links to products, books, and courses. Not to mention Google Ads. After a bit you'd have enough to start making your own books and courses. It's totally do-able.

I know in the Lesson 6 training video is says to select "Do Not Allow" For the EWWW Image Optimizer to track your plugins...buuuut it offers you "500 free image credits in your admin email"

For anyone who knows what I'm talking about; does it matter if instead I select "Allow"? And if I do and receive the 500 image credits, are the credits useful, or will they come in handy later/Is it worth it to Allow EWWW to track all my plugins????

Hi. I just finished my privacy policy page. I hit publish and go to my website but there is no page or menu (not sure if right term). I can search for the privacy policy and it comes up that way but aside from my home page and the about me I there is nothing showing up on my website. I changed themes and that didn't seem to work either. Any suggestions?

HI Adam, when I first started I made a mess because I was mixed up between pages and posts, once I understood the difference it was wonderful. Just getting used to wordpress and practice made a difference for me. Also, make notes as you go, each person learns differently, when I do something right I make a note :) cheers! Good luck!

Any of those can be a great niche. It's best to start with the one you're the most passion about or have the greatest interest in. Try asking yourself what is it that you really want to help people with. That can help you narrow it down some.

I type in keywords that are used multiple times on my home page and throughout my site into Jaaxy site rank and it comes up Unranked in Google, This page has been up for about 6 months. What more could I do to get my website ranked? What could I be doing wrong?

Hello all! So I was wondering if I might be able to get some niche advice. I am very into health and fitness and after an Amazon search, think a great focus would be on protein supplements, breaking down into powders, bars, snacks, etc. The questions I have are as follows:

1. Does this seem a viable option?

2. Is it too broad or not broad enough since it doesn't include say, vitamins or pre-workout supplements?

3. Should I get more specific and instead of looking at all sources of protein, focus on say vegan/organic sources?

Thanks so much for help and by all means, I would love to hear suggestions!

This is like when I was doing a column, working at a newspaper, I had to decide what to write on and usually that involves something that was currently happening in my life or possibly in the world. I've got a few things going on now which all would apply to being a proper subject for a niche. Since this is my first effort, hopefully I'm right about this.

Well I think you are right and I think you would lose your passion if people were not drawn to your website and if people are not drawn to your website there would be no profit and so the circle would go. I would choose to either go into drop shipping and earning through that platform and then indulge yourself with your myths and legends site.
Carol

First of all, take comfort in knowing people are searching for those very keywords. Just a quick trip over to Jaaxy and I was able to find all kinds of keywords that meet the criteria Kyle recommends within a matter of a couple of minutes.

As only one example, the keyword phrase "mermaid myths and legends" has a solid monthly search average of 120, and there is minimal competition, 51, for the term. If you don't know what those numbers mean yet just hang in there until you get to the lesson (by the way, they're really good!)

What is it about myths and legends that you find so fascinating?
And I don't mean this as a trite question; seriously think about what you are so passionate about.

In a sense, I am passionate about such things as well, and am in the process of writing my first fantasy novel. I have a degree is creative writing, and once I finish, I intend on launching a site that offers writing tips for aspiring fantasy authors. Perhaps you could go this route as well. Writers are always looking for good advice.

If teaching writing isn't your thing, there is always the old affiliate standby: Amazon. I'm sure you could find all kinds of books, movies, toys, and other products that your readers might be interested in. You could do book reviews, movie reviews, etc. The sky's the limit if you use a little imagination.

I too think this could be a great niche if done right. just think about if you were one of the first to have written about the harry potter books or other myths and legends movies or books.
Any niche needs time to develop but the niche you like is something millions of people are interested in.

For products, I also see no problems, apart from books you can add some home decor things, fan articles, even furniture or gothic clothes or whatever is somehow related to your niche.

Kimberley, I do a Science Fiction and Fantasy site. Within the fantasy side I do legends, myths, fairy tales etc. So you have books (both paper and eBooks), eReaders. Loads of costumes, films, games and I am sure you could find others.

Look how many little girls run around in fairy costumes. Boys would probably run around as Thor or Superman. Boy I hate stereotyping! I would be running around as Robin Hood and certainly not as Maid Marion.

Not a question but a comment. I was so worried about this step and by the time I got to the end of the video I knew what I wanted to do. What do you guys think of pet safety? I have 2 cats and find myself researching safe cleaning products, toys, etc. for cats.

I think that whatever you passion will be successful if you spend the time and have the patience to write blogs and get the right affiliates. Congratulations and if I can help please just ask

I love the topic of sexuality, particularly female sexuality. I was raised in a culture that shames this. I was thinking about creating a website targeting women looking for advice on toys, sex tips, etc, and an online community to reduce the stigma and shame around female sexuality. I follow a podcast called “bad girls bible”. I love the content, but the host is male and a lot of times it’s focused on pleasing “your man” or “driving him wild”. I’d like to focus more on feeling sexually empowered and tips, advice, (and products) for female pleasure. Is this too broad?

if you see that there is a 'hole' in the niche, then it is time for you to step in and make your mark.

sooner or later, you can do your own podcast. become an authority in your niche. then when your blog gets big enough, you have an entire business helping people in those 'shame' areas, lol. or at least broaching the subject so it can be spoken more freely.

I say go for it. You can end up bigger than that guy because you will have a totally different and legitimate perspective.

I'm doing this because I've always wanted my own business and physically can no longer work in the concrete industry due to a bad knee. Besides, I'm sick of working for other people and getting treated like a liability instead of an asset with 28 years of experience. My short term goal is 5 websites making $300 each per week. Long term goal is multiple sites making me $1000 per day. Once I hit that goal I would be able to be debt free in 1 - 2 years, everything paid off. Then I can spend more time with my wife and do some traveling,etc., that we haven't been able to do. I will also help my 3 kids out and help them set up an income stream. Philanthropy will be in my future to help others too. Seems very realistic to me. Anyone have any comments or advice I can use to speed this process up?

Unfortunately, if we said Make Money Online Quick then my advice would be to RUN.
The reality is that it is hard work and you need to put in lots of time learning, training and actually putting what you learn into practice. There is so much here and as a premium member you can access the live events (and see past ones) as well as all member trainings. So much more than just the Certification course.

The biggest tip I advise is to learn and then take action.
I have websites made here that simply tell people who I am - and when people see me offline and go to the website - they then ring me and make a purchase. (I sell face to face, rather than in a shop).

Affiliate marketing is about driving traffic and the lessons here can double up across all areas of marketing online and offline.

So to speed up the process, spend as much time learning as you can and take action. When you have a website up and running, you need to drive traffic to it and you need to continue to build and grow. It is not a matter of set and forget.

Hi Kyle
The niche I have has chosen me ... I started writing an ebook about relationships for my granddaughter after I heard her crying and talking to her boyfriend in the room next door.
The book is done but still sitting when more issues came to light ... managing her money housekeeping cooking ect ... so the idea of letters came along. When I get to know WA it seems to me like the perfect vehicle for all of this.
There is almost nothing like this on Internet only professional and formal card core advice, not information with love and care.
The niche is wide open and will house many problems from just as many topics but the main denominator will be the informal guidance. There is a need out there from listening to every young one who comes to hear about it.
How will I monities it?
By running on water I bought a domain to hasty with dashes in the name and rectify it by buying a domain without the dashes... that lands me with two domains almost the same.
Is it possible to use the one with the dashes as a site where grannies can post their advice to young ones almost like a fan club but instead an information hub for the young and inexperienced?

Wow Stella. You are quite an inspiration already : )
Thank you for coming up with such a great niche.

I am glad that the niche found you. I am sure you will do great things as it seems you are very passionate about it.

As for monetizing, when you are creating a post and let's say there is a book that might go with your post that you might recommend, you could add a link to that book and get paid a commission if someone purchases it from your site.

You can search for affiliates in your niche. You can also get some ideas as to what products they have and incorporate them into your post.

I wouldn't apply for affiliates yet though. Your website needs to have a decent amount of content and traffic.

in order to be more efficient and save time, first i need to know which companies work with WA. for instance, I live in germany and decided to have weight loss niche and promote 'Weight watchers'. but after checking I understood that they work with two other affiliate programs. can anybody help me with this issue?
